ZIP Code 49302

Households in ZIP code 49302, near Belding, earn a median of $134,722, while per-capita income sits at $48,635. That gap points to many multi-earner homes, and it shapes how housing costs land here: a median home value of $400,700 taxed at the county's 1.11% effective rate works out to roughly $4,450 a year in property taxes. Add the 6.00% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and a household's budget depends on how much gets spent locally versus saved. With earnings this high, those obligations absorb a smaller share of income than they would in many Michigan communities.
